March 29, 2010 Harrisburg – Pennsylvania will press on with its education reform strategies and apply for the second round of federal Race to the Top grant funding, Governor Edward G. Rendell and Education Secretary Gerald L. Zahorchak said. The state learned that its application ranked 7th among the 16 finalists competing for the first-round grants announced by the U.S. Department of Education. Tennessee and Delaware received the only first-round grant awards.
States that did not receive a first-round award will be eligible to re-apply for round
two of the competition in June 2010, which will make available $3.4 billion.
